This document was requested by the FAA to provide a technical update of TSO-C26d to address Electric Brake Actuation, standardize with TSO-C135a and address any remaining concerns with the current technical requirements in AIR5381.

Rationale

This document defines the minimum performance standard for TSO-C26e for wheels and brakes on Parts 23, 27 and 29 aircraft with either hydraulic or electric actuation. This also includes requirements for Accelerate-stop tests for Commuter category aircraft and jets over 6,000 pounds.
